Well, if we're doing this, I have a piece of lost media I'd like to find. It was a weird stop motion, maybe claymation series of shorts that aired on Teletoon, I think, back between 2003 and 2005. I'm pretty sure they were Quebecois,because of the French names in the credits, but I may be mistaken. It also had a nice slowish piano tune as its theme song. The shorts, however, are what I'm looking for. There are 3 I can remember
1. The Pencil and the Eraser (By the way, these likely aren't their official names, it's just what I call them)
This one is the one I can remember best. It was filmed from a top down perspective. A pencil and an Eraser are on screen. The pencil always tries to draw something, only for the Eraser to erase it. A few kids sing about what is happening, like in all the shorts, as far as I can tell. Eventually, the two objects come to blows and start chasing each other, going faster and faster until they burn through the paper, into a world where pencils and erasers live in harmony. Also, the kid singers may have sounded British, which means this show may not have been a Canadian production.
2. The Eyglasses and the Newspaper
This one was definitely the scariest of the three, even if the other two were still scary in their own ways. This short involves a pair of reading glasses looking over a newspaper, as the pictures he looks at come to life and move around. Eventually, the text of the newspaper comes to life, leaps off the paper, and tries to catch the glasses as the room begins to flood. The glasses exclaim (through the singing kids) "I don't want to play your game!" As the newspaper folds itself into a paper boat and the glasses sail away, leaving the text angrily jumping about on the shore.
3. The Bread and the Toaster.
This one is the one I remember the least detail about. It involved a curious slice of bread climbing into a toaster, and remarking on how it's getting hotter, until he finally pops out, where it shows a long shot of the toast flying out of the Toaster, turning into various things, such as a bird and an airplane, before finally flying out and landing on a plate.
Any help finding these shorts would be greatly admired
